Split-level design-a spacious new space experience

The staggered level of the stairs is used to separate the kitchen from the living room and dining room. While each area is independent, it still maintains a sense of spatial coherence. The separation from the living room to the courtyard can also be designed to sink slightly to form a natural transition edge. Double the benches in the courtyard to comfortably dine and chat. The change in height difference can be used to create a spacious new space for the house. experience.

By using transparent glass instead of solid walls to connect spaces, the transparency of the glass weakens the difference between the inside and the outside. Standing in the kitchen, you can look out at the beautiful scenery outside the window, which makes the line of sight unobstructed, provides ample natural lighting, increases air circulation, and is also natural. The ground enhances the sense of intimacy between areas.

The edge of the terrace surrounds the kitchen, and the open design increases the connection with nature. To make cooking and dining both convenient and comfortable, transparent glass is used as a material to connect the surrounding space, so that the boundaries between spaces disappear and the field of vision is broader. The unique position of the kitchen also allows the space to change with the seasons.

Rooftop Picnic - Break the monotony of everyday life

In addition to eating in restaurants every day, sometimes I also want to spend quality time on the rooftop, especially when the epidemic is not over yet, where I can get a pleasant break from daily work. If you install faucets and barbecue equipment on the rooftop, you can have a small picnic on the rooftop, or relax and enjoy a wonderful home-cooked dinner. You can even leisurely enjoy family time playing in the pool or having a barbecue.

capture natural light

The building ridges between the buildings are shaded and can still capture the sunlight from the south through the planned stair space on the north side of the building, reflecting, diffusing and diffracting natural light to other spaces. Wooden slats can be used as stairs and partitions, which not only ensures a broad view and natural light, but also provides uninterrupted air flow.

Patio

The vertical extension of the patio helps maximize the desired spatial quality and conditions while inspiring a sense of openness and connection to nature as it opens to the sky.

[Know in advance when building on your own land] Building a new house for the first time! 10 must-read FAQs/key points to note! Avoid crazy disputes

Building a new house is a dream that many people pursue throughout their lives! However, for ordinary families, they don’t know much about decoration and interior design, let alone self-build which involves many aspects! Therefore, it is very important to be fully prepared before starting to build your dream house. Here are 10 of the most common questions and things that need to be paid attention to before, during and after self-build, so that you can avoid letting others know. Crazy disputes, living in your dream home, let’s take a quick look at it!

1What kind of teams does self-construction usually include?

It can be roughly divided into categories of consultants and contractors. You must hire suitable consultants (architects, interior design companies, etc.), experienced construction companies, construction companies, and knowledgeable consultants! Below are the teams covered in each category

consultant	contractor
architect	What-if project
interior designer	Demolition
structural engineer	scaffolding project
civil engineer	Conservation and Cleaning Projects
vastu consultant	Hydropower project
MEP consultants, including lighting consultants	Mud work
Municipal/local authority approval Prospective Liaison Architect/Engineer	Structural Engineering
landscape architect	Styling Metal Engineering
	Exterior wall engineering
	Aluminum window project
	glass engineering
	Lighting engineering
	Crane engineering
	Wood floor project Landscape engineering Elevator engineering

2How to find the best architects, construction companies, interior design companies, and construction companies?

Choosing a good manufacturer is a huge factor in the success of self-build, but only after you have a clear understanding of what you want in your renovation. You need to specify exactly what you want, and then find the most suitable contractor for your project. Especially for water-formed buildings, because construction is difficult, you need to find an architect with relevant design experience to make the construction process easier and more rewarding. Best results.

3. Can I outsource the contract by myself, find a turnkey contractor or engineering class, and build it myself?

You need to plan the entire process from the beginning because there are so many parts involved in home building, and the sooner you make the decision, the sooner you can order materials and schedule. This can prevent product shortages or unprofessional work shifts from occurring during the process, which will cause you a lot of stress, problems, and delays. The advantage of handing it over to a design and construction company or contractor is that all planning is done The project is planned for you at the beginning, and you can also put forward your ideas and participate in discussions during the process.

4. There are many self-built projects, how should I control the budget?

The most important thing is to decide what your "needs" are, based on your budget, lifestyle, culture, etc. When preparing your budget, you should ask a consultant about the "base" cost of a basic renovation project. You may be stuck in wanting to choose more. For the idea of a cheap contractor, if you get an estimate that is significantly lower than industry standards, it is likely that the work will not be progressed properly and there will often be additional work and expense if another trades team is hired to complete the work that has been started! When preparing the budget, set a reasonable budget for each project, reserve subsequent expenses for furniture, interior decoration, electrical appliances, tableware, bed sheets and other household items, legal documents, etc., and reserve 10% to 20% in the total budget as a reserve fund , in order to better control costs.

5 I have found suitable products and materials and want to order them myself. Can I do that?

You may inquire about products that you think are more suitable or more favorable than those provided by construction companies and design companies, but you may not be able to confirm the quality, size, suitability, or insufficient supply before ordering. Causing delays and increased costs. A professional design and construction company with long-term cooperation and trustworthy suppliers can help you choose appropriate and high-quality materials and products, install them smoothly, and provide subsequent warranty.

6. What are the processes and sequences for self-built design?

According to the order of priority, decide the design of each step, elevation, 3D drawing ➔ columns ➜ location of load-bearing walls ➜ location and size of doors and windows ➜ space layout ➜ furniture layout ➜ electrical points ➜ toilet location ➜ materials ➜ decoration, combine all the above The design projects are coordinated and completed before construction proceeds.

7How should I choose the color scheme for my space?

When you finalize the plans and elevations, you also need to decide on the color palette, such as the color of the floors, doors, windows, roof, bathroom fixtures, wall tiles, etc. It is recommended that you choose from your favorite materials, such as marble, vitrified tiles, wooden tiles, etc., to help you further decide on the color of the floor, as well as comprehensively think about, design and plan the color coordination of the entire room.

At the same time, you can also refer to the neutral-toned Wabi Sabi style that design masters still love, showing a natural style and creating a comfortable living experience: [WABI SABI wabi-sabi style] Recommended colors for home color trends, a comfortable and textured atmosphere not to be missed!

8Can I make changes to the design after construction has started?

First confirm and complete all planning processes before starting on-site construction. Once finalized, try to avoid any revisions or changes to the plan, which will delay the construction period and increase work costs. The original design plan is a decision made after long-term thinking and discussion between you and the architect.

9How to coordinate the various units? Confirm if your architect and interior designer are the same or different?

If your design and construction teams are different and there is no middleman to coordinate, it will often happen that the structure is modified only after it is completed. The same is true for different types of work. If there is no person responsible for integration, it is easy to inadvertently delay the project. Therefore, in Before the project starts, it is best to hire an engineer or an experienced project supervisor to help determine the scope and schedule of the work in detail with the contractor, and to assist in taking on the important responsibility of advancing the project progress.

10How to ensure that the self-built construction is smooth and of high quality?

Self-build, which is fully undertaken by yourself, may not necessarily be able to completely build a dream home that meets your imagination. The design and construction company has rich experience and can help you with complete planning at the beginning of construction, from design to decoration and supervision. At every step, there is no need to worry about any details being overlooked. We will also contact you regularly about the current process to ensure that everything is going according to plan and help you easily realize your dream home.

[Wood Grain Water Mold Architecture] The unique expressive power of board concrete! Create a clear water mold style that is popular around the world

Whether leaving the mark of rough slats or smooth slats, slab concrete provides a unique surface that can form a space or structure. Architects use this technique to inject character, depth, warmth and texture into their projects. The following buildings are water-cast buildings with the beauty of wood texture!

Hawthorn House light arched structure

Hawthorn House is housed within two striking concrete envelopes that peel upward at each boundary to create a clear connection with the landscape and inject unexpected lightness into the design. The cast-in-place concrete is made from rough-hewn Oregon planks for a textured appearance, and the timber framing was recycled into the perimeter fencing of the site, where it will develop a gray patina over time to match the concrete structure, aging gracefully. As the interior was completed, the concrete sheathing was contextualized to become a shell that protectively encapsulates the interior living spaces. Although the house's two concrete pavilions appear windowless from a distance, the facade around the ground floor peels back to reveal Arched incisions that form continuous glass walls promote the design’s extraordinary openness, infusing these seemingly enclosed spaces with natural light and lightness.
